I wish I had more time and more money that I was willing to spend on the car. But I'll make it run quite well the old stocker way. Some hard work and testing along with more testing and the tricks learned from the last 40 years of being involved with stockers. Getting back to Indy. We should have 2 polls to see who wants the AHFS in place for Indy. One for those racers that plan on going Indy and hope to get one of the 128 spots. ( It's Indy not one spot is given you have to work for it) And one for those that have no intention on going but want to complain about what it takes to get in and how unfair it is. I'm wrong we need 3 polls. We should also poll those that don't have a race car. Maybe never had one or it's been so long they were still checking duration and over lap. What's that old expression Lead Follow or get left behind!!! Mark Yak this doesn't include guys like you that have forgotten more than a lot of people that are running cars know. BP

And Barry, I wasn't picking on your work ethic. BUT, the only place left that a Racer is going to have to show his stuff to qualify is Indy! Think about that for just one minute, the only race that S/SS Racers run ALL YEAR where they have to put all of their stuff out there to get into the field, the ONLY race left where the AHFS can possibly work as intended and NHRA turns a blind eye.
As far as your poll goes, the only poll that needs to be taken for the sake of accuracy should be a poll of ALL ACTIVE S/SS Racers not just Indy entrants and definitely not for fence hangers as using or selectively using the AHFS has an affect on each and every currently active S/SS Racer.
Capt. Jack has referred to the AHFS as "Automatic Help For Slugs" for years. Maybe it should be "Automatic Help For Systemgamers"!
